There is still room for improvement, but Callum’s speed makes him fit very well in this new role.
“I thought that [the role] maybe suits for him because he can play from the line and he can use his speed and acceleration,” Thomas Tuchel told BT Sport about his decision to make Callum Hudson-Odoi a right wing-back.
“He also loves to come from the left side. I can see from his ability there.
“We have to work a bit on his timing but he is also a threat with his speed and his capacity.
“Today is also a lot to defend because of the long balls. Azpi needed his help on his side and he did, again, very, very well.”
Callum Hudson-Odoi has started two games in a row in what initially looked like a new position to him. However, in both games he was among the best players on the pitch, constantly creating chances from the right.
